Representative Spearing, of Louisiana,
speaking in the National house
said: "To my mind a newspaper is
one of the greatest means of education
that we have. It supplements
the school education beyond expression.
It gives the youth, particularly,
knowledge of current events and *
of evcrydiiy happenings. It is his- j
tory in the making. Show me a boy I
or a girl, a man or a woman, who
keeps up with the current literature 1
thrpugh the daily press and the weekly
press, and I will show you a person
who is well informed not only
about current history but about history
of years ago."

Prior to being elected Railroad

Former Camden Man
Grows Georgia Wheat
The Macon Telegraph of last Sunday
carries the following inter eating
article relative to the growing of
wheat in Georgia by Mr. L>. J. Carriaon,
formerly of thia city:
"Wheat nearly five feet high ia
growing m the fielda of D. J. Garrison's
farm, near Bolingbroke, at
the present time. It seem* to be one
of the few crop* in this section
which have survived, unimpaired,
the recent devastating rains.
There are 300 acres of the wheat
which Mr. Carrison has planted,
using machinery entirely in the preparation
of the land and in sowing
I the seed. The work was started in
February a year ago on land which
had been idle since 1017. Wheat was
planted Oct. 14 to Nov. 15...^our
hundred pounds of acid phosphate
were used on each sere at planting
and 125 pounds of nitrate of soda has
been used as a top dressing this
spring.
"Alx>ut the middle of the month a
demonstration of harvesting the
wheat will be held, to which farmers
and business men of this section will
be invited. At this occasion a combination
machine which, will cut,
thresh and sack the wheat, will be
shown. The machine will be capable
of covering 20 acres a day.
"The day will be known as Wheat
day. There will be no speeches
made except the story of what has
been accomplished on the farm with
machinery, told by Mr. Carrison.
"A barbecue will be served and
sandwiches will be sold by the members
of the Bibb County Home
Demonstration bureau. Cold drinks
als6 will be available. Profoably the
last week in May will be set for the
date of the harvest.
"Following the crop of wheat, Mr.
Carrison will plant soy beans, so as
to put the land in shape for another
crop of wheat. He will sell
the beans for seed and turn under
the vines.
"D. F. Bruce, county agent, will be
on hand to explain about the wheat
crop to those who avail themselves
of the opportunity."
